West, Amy (30 November 2021). "EastEnders' James Farrar and wife Ali announce baby's arrival". Digital Spy. Amy Wilson, author of Lightning Falls shares: ‘My home has not always been a place of safety. Sometimes home is only truly found when we can make our own; sometimes even then it can be assailed. When my childhood home was frightening, I found a place of safety in books. They gave me family, and laughter and hope – they gave me a home, while I waited to build my own. I am grateful beyond all words that I have the home I dreamed of now, but sometimes, though the dangers are long past, I am still frightened – I still need to find home in books. In Katya Balen's novel 'October, October', the whole notion of home is explored, and liberated. October’s voice found a home in me, and gave me a home, when I was feeling vulnerable in mine. That’s why books are critical, for the children we are and the children we were. That’s why they’re magic.’ I am so grateful to have attended James and Ali's first Remedy Retreat. A great deal of energy and thought went into the smallest details, they also provided us with the perfect balance of activities and downtime. The food was delicious, the house was amazing and they had even gone so far as to curate a selection of books for us to read. James's extensive experience in the entertainment industry has served him well in helping coaching others in building confidence and self esteem. His workouts were pretty fun too! Ali has the magical quality of making you feel that you are truly the only person in the room and you really felt listened to and valued. At one point I confided in her about feeling uncomfortable about my body and she was so reassuring and loving as well as providing pragmatic advice. Ali and James are not only professional, well informed on health and well being but also very kind and funny people! Ali is an absolutely brilliant yoga teacher, I work in the Yoga industry and I can honestly say that she is one of the best teachers I have come across. I look forward to attending other fun events organised by this magical team and I wish them all the very best.

It’s a lot like the fable of the boiling frog; if you drop a frog into boiling water it will jump right out, but if you drop it into cold water and slowly boil the pan, it won’t notice the steady rise in temperature and sit there until… well, you get the picture.
